AMERICAN AGENTS captured a space alien at a UFO landing site in western Virginia on March 29, 2012, proving once and for all that the extraterrestrials do exist and have a keen interest in the affairs of mankind and planet Earth!

Dramatic photos of the creature being hustled into a safe house before it was moved to a secret location in the nation’s capital showed it to be tall and lanky with a large, bulb-shaped head.

Sources further revealed that the alien spoke English both forward and backward. And for a time it cooperated fully with agents who made a priority of trying to find out its reasons for coming to Earth as well as the technology that got it here.

“This is the moment we’ve been waiting for since the U.S government first began investigating UFOs in the 1940’s,” the UFO investigator, who got the pictures and broke the story, told The Weekly World News at the time of the creature’s capture.

“The government has lied to us before about UFOs and space aliens but this time there will be no lies,” he continued. “This time we’ve got photographic proof that the creature is in custody.”

An agency spokesmen denied the UFO expert’s allegations and actually threatened to “neutralize” a NEWS correspondent who pressed for details.

But the researcher himself, who requested anonymity to avoid reprisals, claimed to have no less than 12 highly-placed intelligence sources who can back up his story.

He went on the say: “On the morning of September 29 I got a tip that agents had captured the alien while investigating a UFO landing in western Virginia’s mountains the night before.

The dramatic photos above recorded the historic capture of a space alien by federal agents.

The creature is shown as it was being hustled into a safe house.

“My source told me that the craft had come and gone by the time agents arrived. But a sweep of the area produced a single extraterrestrial who was hiding in a clump of bushes some 75 yards from the landing site. The source also told me that the alien would choice. I ran to my car and got be taken to a safe house for questioning later that day. When the agents and the extraterrestrial arrived, I was hiding in an alley across the street with my camera and nine rolls of film.

“The pictures I got show that the alien was handcuffed. And when the agents escorted him out of the safe house 45 minutes later, one of them has his coat off and in the photos you can see a gun on his belt.

“I wanted to follow them in my car but one of the agents spotted me and pointed at my camera. When that happened I had not choice. I ran to my car and got the hell out of there. I had to protect the film.”

Sources later told him that the alien was moved at least six times as agents tried to keep its capture secret but just three weeks later the creature kicked down the door to a holding cell, “incapacitated” 11 guards and escaped, prompting the UFO researcher to say:

“This is a tragedy of the first magnitude. We may never get a chance to question an extraterrestrial again.”
